1
Peel and Grate Potatoes
Peel the Russet potatoes and use a box grater or food processor to shred them into thin strips. You should have about 4 cups of grated potatoes.
2
Rinse and Drain
Place the grated potatoes in a bowl of cold water and rinse them thoroughly to remove excess starch. Drain them well in a colander and let them sit for about 10 minutes to remove additional moisture.
3
Season Potatoes
Transfer the drained potatoes back into a bowl. Add salt, ground black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix well until the potatoes are evenly coated with the seasonings.

4
Heat Oil and Butter
In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil and butter over medium-high heat until the oil is shimmering and the butter is melted.
5
Cook Hash Browns
Add the seasoned grated potatoes to the skillet in an even layer. Press them down gently with a spatula to form a compact layer. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until the bottom is golden brown and crispy.
6
Flip and Finish Cooking
Using a large plate, carefully flip the hash brown over and return it to the skillet. Cook for another 5-7 minutes until the other side is also golden brown and crispy.
7
Serve
Once cooked, remove the hash browns from the skillet and drain excess oil on paper towels. Cut into wedges or squares and serve hot.
